“What I need to achieve most is to be a good wife and a good daughter and a good friend — that will keep fueling the fire for the rest of my career.”
Atlanta, Georgia native Lily Rose burst onto the scene with her viral hit “Villain,” instantly propelling her into the national spotlight almost overnight. Signed to Big Loud/Back Blocks Music/Mercury Records, Lily toured with Country’s hottest stars as she hungrily chased down her dreams and married her wife Daira in 2023. Lily has been on multiple tours with fellow stylistic maverick Sam Hunt and opened shows for Country-pop icon Shania Twain, and even experienced her own global pop moment when she sang on Diplo’s 2023 EDM-Country banger “Sad in the Summer” as she introduced herself to a whole new group of fans through performances on NBC’s The Voice and ABC’s Good Morning America. She’s already been nominated for ACM Best New Female Artist and took home GLAAD’s Outstanding Breakthrough Artist Award in 2022, and now, she emerges with a crisp, edgy new sound and a renewed understanding of what matters most to her. It’s obvious that her dedication to authenticity and personal growth shines through in every note,
Hushh attended an exclusive press conference with lily and here’s our take-aways:
dirt road country asked, “Runnin’ outta time has been out for 4 months now, how does it feel having it out in the world all summer up until now?”
lily: Yeah, you know, we chose “running out of time” as the title track because we were talking about how I hadn’t put out music since 2022. So it was kind of like the pressure was on of like ‘ohh man is there’s somebody that’s next In line that is gonna Take my spot’. but since we’ve put it out, it’s actually just showing me that we’re just getting started and it’s been four months of not only people consuming the new music, but asking for more. Which is always, you know, a good thing and what you want. So it’s just been a Really cool thing and I hope it opens the gate and the door to even more music,
Universal Music Group asked: you’ve accomplished so much over your career and this EP is such a special collection of songs, What can everyone expect when seeing you live this fall?
Ohh man, uh, you know energy. I’ve kind of beat that horse. We just kind of go crazy on stage. I think we have one of the best shows at this level in country music. My band’s incredible productions are awesome. But we’ve really put in a part in our show- Stripping it down and doing some of these songs fully acoustic. it Bring the fans into the writing room. When I was writing these songs and what it felt like when we just wrote them with the guitar and you know, the lyric and the melody is the most important part. So I’m excited to really, really get in everybody’s face with the energy and all that. But in the middle of the show, doing those 3 or 4 songs intimately just with them. Is it’s gonna be awesome. I can’t wait.
